History:
Devra Swiger, owner and founder of Ab-Solutely Pilates, discovered the
Pilates method in the fall of 1999 after a back injury prevented her from
teaching a full schedule of aerobic and fitness classes. She read an article on
the benefits of the Pilates method and decided to try a few private sessions.
After several weeks of training, Devra realized that the Pilates method was the
direction she was determined to take.
Experience:
Devra is certified through The Physicalmind Institute, Colleen Glenn Studios,
Alternative Fitness and Polestar (both mat and studio series). She also holds certifications in personal
training and group fitness from the American Council on Exercise (ACE). She is
also an educational provider for ACE as well as for the YMCAs of greater
Charlotte;
Devra has worked with many clients over the years. Her clientele is diverse
consisting of: pro-ball players, athletes, medical doctors and housewives who
haven’t exercised in years.
